I know that Lamb's Ear is normally grown for its foliage, but I don't find the foliage terribly attractive. However, I do love the flowers. Be sure to visit Kasmira's blog for a great post on Lamb's Ears' flowers. She lets hers blossom too.

Old-fashioned single hollyhocks are among my all-time favorite flowers so it should surprise no one that I also grow Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina'. I have a bunch from last year and I planted more seeds this year.

Here's my Madonna lily. I've been watching the flower stalk get taller and taller. The suspense is killing me!

Less suspense than surprise is La Reine Victoria. This is one of the cheap rosebushes that I bought at Home Depot in April. I can't believe it's actually going to bloom this year!

It's one tough plant. If you look closely, you can see something is tunneling under it. I keep filling in the tunnels and a few days later, they're back!
